Mission

Legacy Society

Our connection to the land is inherent—it sustains, enriches and inspires us. Land is where we build our homes, grow our food, raise our families and place our roots. Napa County is one of the most beautiful and biodiverse places in the world, where rare plants, wild animals, ancient forests, historic vineyards, and pristine lakes and streams thrive together.

This synergy is thanks to the Land Trust of Napa County’s partnership with the community and continuing efforts to preserve the character of Napa—for our families, visitors and future generations. You can make a lasting and positive powerful impact on the preservation of our extraordinary home by creating a legacy with the Land Trust.

You can join our Legacy Society by including the Land Trust in your will or estate plan. It is easy to do and will ensure that your commitment to Napa will endure well beyond your lifetime.

“Everybody needs beauty…places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to the body and soul alike.”— John Muir
